“Mr. Adams, why do I have this uneasy feeling that I’ve become someone’s target again because of you?” Katelyn felt completely helpless.

She was just there to support Vincent as his employee, yet the women he turned down seemed to blame her for it.

Why did she have to suffer? Did they believe that by targeting her, they could have a real chance with Vincent? The catch was, she wasn’t Vincent’s wife—she was his employee.

Vincent was taken aback.

In a cold tone, he replied, “If anyone gives you trouble, let me know right away.”

Katelyn gave a faint nod, just wanting to put the issue behind her.

Vincent grabbed a champagne glass from the table, glanced around, and then faced Katelyn.

“I’m going to greet some people. Feel free to explore. If you get bored, you can find Jaxen.”

“Alright,” Katelyn nodded without hesitation.

As Vincent and Jaxen moved away, the women surrounding Cormac stepped aside.

These stylish women had been invited on the yacht by Jaxen to add some excitement to the event.

Katelyn found a quiet corner, holding a glass of champagne, and gazed up at the starry sky.

The yacht had already set sail, drifting on the sea.

The stars sparkled brightly, and a soft breeze blew gently. Katelyn suddenly realized why these young rich men loved yacht parties so much—it felt completely different from being on land.

At that moment, a sharp voice called out from behind her, “So, you’re Katelyn.”

Katelyn turned to find Kassandra standing in front of her, her eyes filled with hostility.

Katelyn rubbed her temples in frustration—Vincent’s words had come true.

After being rejected by Vincent, Kassandra directed all her fury at Katelyn.

“What do you want?” Katelyn asked with a sigh.

Kassandra gripped her glass tightly, her eyes burning with hatred. “I’m here to tell you to stop wanting what doesn’t belong to you.”

She was convinced she was better than Katelyn in every way. So why did Vincent never look her way?

Kassandra had tried to get his attention, but Vincent completely ignored her.

If Vincent had been distant to everyone, Kassandra could have accepted it. But he chose Katelyn— a divorced woman with a questionable reputation. His kindness towards her made Kassandra seethe with jealousy.

Katelyn’s eyes narrowed with disdain as she stood up, unwilling to waste any more time on someone like Kassandra. Just as she turned to leave, a group of women suddenly stepped in front of her.

Katelyn’s expression hardened. “What do you want?” ? ?s? ?s find~novel~net

Kassandra stepped forward, sneering. “I want to teach you a lesson. How could someone like you ever deserve someone like him?”

Katelyn tightened her grip on her champagne glass, her body tensing. All she wanted was a quiet corner to enjoy the night. But even that small wish was being interrupted.

Kassandra shouted, “What are you waiting for? Grab her! Strip her clothes off and throw them into the sea. Make her a joke. Once she’s humiliated, Vincent will never want her again.”

Kassandra’s arrogance was palpable, and she had planned everything down to the smallest detail. No man would want to be associated with a woman with a tarnished reputation.

Even if Vincent didn’t choose her in the end, Kassandra could make sure no other woman would stand by his side.

Katelyn’s expression hardened. What a cruel plan! Kassandra truly wanted to ruin her reputation like this.

“If you’re looking for trouble, don’t blame me for being rude,” Katelyn said, setting down her glass.

Her cold tone made the women around her hesitate. How could Katelyn remain so composed and commanding?

She resembled Vincent more than they realized.

Her eyes were cold. Perhaps she had been too kindhearted in the past, giving people the wrong impression that she was an easy target.

Kassandra hesitated for a moment but then shouted, “What are you afraid of? It’s just one of her and six of us. Grab her!”

At her command, one of the women rushed forward.

Katelyn quickly sidestepped the attack and landed a swift kick to the woman’s shin.

“Ah!” the woman screamed as she fell to the floor, fear evident in her eyes. It seemed her leg might be broken.

Katelyn’s reflexes and skills were on par with those of the professional bodyguards families hired. Why would she be afraid of these women?

Kassandra’s group was used to bullying others, but today, they had made a mistake by targeting Katelyn. They were about to learn a hard lesson.

The woman who had attacked Katelyn lay on the ground, crying out in pain. The others were starting to feel nervous.

Kassandra glared at them, grinding her teeth in frustration.

“What are you afraid of? Grab her and teach her a lesson!”

The women exchanged uncertain glances before charging at Katelyn once again.

Katelyn stood her ground, kicking each one as they approached.

“Ah!” Their screams echoed across the deck.

Fear flickered in Kassandra’s eyes, and she instinctively took a step back.

“Katelyn, if you even think about hurting me— Ah!”
